Responsible gambling

HedgeLock exists to convert promotional offers with hedged, low-variance strategies — not to encourage gambling. Done correctly, matched betting is arithmetic. But the tools live next door to gambling, and that proximity deserves respect.

You must meet the legal betting age in your jurisdiction (18+ or 21+ depending on location) and comply with local law. HedgeLock does not accept wagers and does not hold your funds — every wager is placed by you, in your own accounts, at your own decision.

If betting stops feeling like arithmetic and starts feeling like a compulsion, stop and reach out:

• National Problem Gambling Helpline: call or text 1-800-GAMBLER (24/7)
• Every regulated sportsbook offers deposit limits, cool-offs, and self-exclusion in its responsible-gaming settings
• State self-exclusion programs are listed on your state regulator's website

Warning signs worth taking seriously: betting unhedged "just this once," chasing losses outside the calculated plan, or wagering money you can't afford to have tied up. The math only works when every bet is part of the plan. Read why.
